Rush Limbaugh Mocks Bill O’Reilly In Book
The Hill ^ | May 25, 2010 | Christina Wilkie

Posted on 05/25/2010 7:19:26 AM PDT by raptor22

In a new biography on sale Tuesday, Rush Limbaugh calls fellow conservative talk show host Bill O’Reilly a “Ted Baxter” — after the fictional character on the “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” who was portrayed as a vain, shallow, buffoonish TV newsman.

“Sorry but somebody’s gotta say it,” Limbaugh is quoted as saying in Rush Limbaugh: An Army of One by Zev Chafets. At press time, O’Reilly had yet to respond to the comment.

Sounds pretty accurate. Did you see BOR get run over by Anthony Weiner last night? What a tool.

That’s funny cuz Rush always reminded me of Ted Baxter—the booming voice, the over-the-top false bravado. O’Reilly doesn’t remind me of Baxter at all. Maybe Judge Smales :0)

I have heard Rush express those sentiments on his radio show. Everything in this article is nothing new and should be filed under “WHO Cares”.

>> BO’s not gonna like that <<

C'mon, don't be so naive. BOR will love it, because any "dispute" between him and RHL the 3rd will only drive the ratings higher.

Of course, anyone who believes everything written about someone is a fool.

Rush is certainly more reasoned than O’Reilly.
